In this building you can see three levels of cells. The wide hallway is where they would show movies. Some medical services and haircuts. Phone booths -3 only.
Below, where the stairs are, contain the dungeons where serious criminals were kept. You can see they had limited light and seclusion. One man was sent there for 30 years before he died - a mass murderer.
The two images look in opposite direction down the same hall and I took them a couple hours apart.
It is suggested as a prisoner better not to snore at night!
Peace and freedom and justice and the law were broken by the police during the demonstration in Berlin;
the government, which is responsible for it,
now shows its true totalitarian face shamelessly open.
Now everything that was feared for months is coming true -
wake up, people all over the world,
and try to stop this development all together!
[29. August 2020]
A wonderful day, took lots of shots, so not going to waste any! People in the valley were walking around in the foggy gloom, with rather glum faces, people up here were jogging, bike riding, dog walking etc, all smiles and greetings 'isn't it a lovely day' ......just shows how the conditions affect us. Minus 4C today.
This is long, but I found it fascinating.
30 million years ago a gigantic caldera was formed by the sudden collapse of overlying rock into an underground reservoir of molten rock. The resulting eruptions produced massive amounts of ash and debris which nearly refilled the depression. These deposits hardened into rock.
About a half million years ago flows of basalt lava poured into this area and capped it off. Over time, erosion by the Crooked River has exposed and sculpted the landscape that you see here. Nice work!
Steller's jays are always a welcome sight, but none more beautiful of a time than in the winter. I love to see the contrast between their beautiful tones of blue with black against the white of the snow. On this day, we watched as a group of Steller's jays foraged for food in the hardened snow patch. This jay had found some and tossed them back to swallow. So interesting.
Happy Wednesday!!

MICHAEL BALL & IL DIVO
The overhead storm clouds cast their shadows
washing away the pride in me
pride comes before a fall
I learned that at my father's knee
or was it that I just misremembered
perhaps it was pride comes before a fool
it matters less in this definitive moment
it may always remain a mystery
I listen hard for signs of rain
I imagine the coolness on my skin
I thought I heard a rumble of thunder
is it true that rain will wash away our sins
for surely we have taken a wrong turning
this blessed heat without humidity
the dew drops sparkle in the sunlight
a mirage mirroring my humility
rosé rosée like pink champagne
smooth like cultured pearls it seems
like the many facets of a zillion diamonds
have been erased in many sultry dreams
wish that I could stay in this moment
give up the fight for any more
be contented; savour and relish
these small things that should be adored
but in my reverie I am safe
and the waters I paddle are extremely shallow
but that's not me, I must take the plunge
swim out of my depth; the wickless tallow
melts in the hot relentless sun
emerging now beneath it's shroud
the ether smells so strong of ozone
by the sea as dissolving clouds
dissipate and my anticipation
disappears like urban myths
that once seemed honest, true and permanent
but now appear rarified as Scotch mist
I play the music it fills the air
the ivory keys invisibly stained with blood
the ebony hardened like the wounded stare
of civilisations misunderstood
when will we learn to be as one
is it so hard to find harmony
the rhythm of Mendelssohn's fragmented vision
resounds in my ears and soothing me
I pick up the notes with nimble fingers
disperse them into the universe
hoping that someone, somewhere will hear them
and heal our planet, not make it worse
transferring thoughts like transference of scores
of tiny notes that alone have only partial impact
I begin to play a different theme tune to my life
love changes everything; to me that is a fact.

I've been trying to capture this in the right light for a couple of years now and finally this evening I think I might have captured what i wanted. This Stone Circle is almost hidden away on the moors and I wanted to capture it as the sun was setting

Please enlarge to see the rusty detail.

Marbled White / melanargia galathea. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 02/07/14.
'PRISTINE VULNERABILITY.'
I remember finding this pristine Marble White clinging to a grass stem, shortly after she had emerged. Her wings had not fully hardened so whenever she moved up the stem, they were still a little floppy. At such an early stage of adulthood, she would have been extremely vulnerable if spotted by a predatory bird.

For the first time I tried doing a livestream as I was set up to take this shot. I know I am NOT a videographer! (I'm barely a photographer!) Anyway I did at least manage to get this.
Trouble maker?? My heart is getting hardened to this little scamp and his mother! They have eaten All the leaves off the trees as high as Mom can reach and that would include my 2 year old Dogwood tree!! They have eaten ALL my Hosta plants down to the nubs. This one is standing on the edge of the yard there is a steep climb up into the forest where there are Plenty of trees to eat. To the left is what is left of my Hostas. And they aren't even part of the herd of 4 does that wander through every other day or so eating their way to happiness. :( So many deer! When I take my granddaughter home in the evenings, I can easily count between 8-10 deer alongside the roads and it's only a 20 min. drive! Unfortunately many of these will wind up as road kill but then the buzzards will be happy I guess. All I'm saying is that if they insist on making my yard a smorgasbord, they should eat the grass and weeds also. Especially the grass.......

Today was one of those days that the sky kept catching my attention so I figured I should try to include it in my photo of the day.
The clouds were scattered about littering the vibrant blue with a pretty fluffy white text.
So I looked for a way to frame the sky, and finally I came across this crane swinging back and forth and figured I had a shot.
It didn't turn out quite as nicely as I would have liked, but still, it shows off the pretty sky, so I'm going to go with it.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

4:30 am and I am awoken by a tap on my bedroom door. Sunrise beckons. Or does it?
Well I guess it does since the sun must rise everyday but will it be worthy of an early start at a god-forsaken hour of the morning. (I know, some like my beloved, that get up at that time every morning, are hardened to early starts). Not me.
It was grey and drab with heavy cloud but we wandered down to the beach to see what we could see.
The sun refused to perform, but for a minute or so, when it peeked through a gap in the clouds, it cast a beautiful glow and reflected in the pool below.
It ended up being such a lovely time on the beach, regardless of the lack of colour. By the time breakfast came around, we had been up for hours and photographed lots of birds and the day had only just woken.
